Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Staff at reception and restaurant not professional ... Service is very poor... I had to ask at the reception desk 3 times to confirm that they have booked a taxi for me. They always said yes, but if I would not have double-checked... I would have missed my flight. The open Wlan at the lobby was driving me crazy as it did not work constantly... Connection was very poor and slow and very often no signal. If you did not book all incl. ... Always watch your check! It happened that they charge the total amount as a tip!!!! How ridiculous! If you pay for a can of a drink, you have to tell them that you want this can plus a cup otherwise they just give you a third of this coke in a cup!!! If you order a coffee to take away it always took at least 10 minutes. They just let you wait although there were 5 guys standing around. If you call the waiter, they just don't realize that you need something... They walk around the tables but pay no attention to the guests! There were several other annoying things... I would not say that this resort earns 5 stars with this kind of service. They are not yet there where they want to be ... They really need to better train their staff. At least some of the staff tried hard always to be friendly.

Good cleaning service! Nice bathroom.

We contacted the hotel before arriving to inquire about dinner reservations since we were traveling over the new years holiday and new it would be crowded (the resort is on a large plantation and far removed from any other businesses so eating at the resort is really the only option). No one ever got back to us and so once we arrived the 3 restaurants were booked solid each night we were there. We were forced to eat sub-par sushi in the lobby one night, practically microwaved pizza another night and were able to slip in at 9:45 to a buffet that closed at 10pm our final night. Completely unacceptable for this price point. I also emailed prior to arriving about arranging a private yoga class for new years day and was never received a reply. Room cleanings weren't done until 2 or 3 in the afternoon and room service from breakfast was never cleared 2 days in a row. One day we were not supplied with new towels even though they had been requested. Requests via the concierge were basically pointless as we ended up having to attempt to make reservations on our own. The fire alarm went off for 10 minutes during a 90 minute massage, which was just a false alarm, but no additional time was added to the massage. Wait staff at the beach seemed as if they hardly wanted to serve anyone. When asked for a menu we were told the waitress would be back in a minute and we didn't see her for the rest of the day- instead we personally went and ordered our lunch, which isn't a problem if there aren't servers just standing around talking amongst themselves.
All in all it was the poorest service I have ever received at a hotel of this price point. I have stayed at lesser hotels and received far better service from the staff. Had I wanted the type of service I received I would have stayed at a worse hotel downtown, not one that is trying to define itself as the finest resort on Curacao.

Our room was pretty nice but at this price we've had much better.

Only thing. I have write that it was our 2 anniversary , i did expect that we will receive something nice on our bed or something nice when we went to eat at shore or by the breafkast. Because usualy when it is your birthday i know by other hotels you receive a cake or something. When its a anniversary you need to make the couple feel more special. That why people notify that it is them birthday or anniversary

I like the service, at shore restaurant and at the beachbar. The make us young couple feel like king and queen. The bedroom was very nice, i love the bath very much.

The food is quite expensive and the resort doesn't offer many alternatives. The buffet at lunch is a only fair pizza with salad that doesn't worth the amount charged. Nice sushi bar.

The resort is excellent, with great facilities and a staff that is willing to help you anytime.
